How difficult is it to change out that front middle speaker? Remove the dash difficult or does a cover just pop off or something?

Thanks for the tips otherwise... I'd love to get a bit more volume and quality as well, but I'm intimidated by the process of changing some stuff out.

. Because it's over priced... there's a lot better for the money in both sq and spl.
Maybe, it's been a while since I was all about the audio but I still can't imagine JL equipment disappointing...Oh well

It pops right up with a trim tool

I have a 10" powered sub under my seat and pretty happy with it

Did you have to do any modification to get your remote knob to fit in the blank plastic spot? Mine is way to big and I really don't want to have to take the casing off if I can avoid it

I had to modify both the Honda blanking plate and the PCB that the switch was soldered to.

Do you think there is room for an underseat sub that is 1 5/8th inch longer and 7/16th inch taller?

You should be able to go with a sub 7/16" taller. Not sure about the 1-5/8" longer length. You may have to measure the frame under the seat to be sure. Also, most amps have the wiring contacts on the short side, so that is another thing to look out for.

Nothing fits in the stock sub location. Even if something did it would probably would bad as well. I would recommend a small powered sub for the trunk. Not the shallow mount ones, IMO they aren't very good. Something like a JL audio if you can afford it.
